I did have a problem concentrating on anything for more than 10 seconds. I was one of the first kids in the U.K. to go on Ritalin, and my mum hated it, and I hated it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was not good in school. I could never read very fast or very well. I got tested for learning disabilities, for dyslexia. Then I got put on Ritalin and Dexedrine. I took those starting in the eighth grade. As soon as they pumped that drug into me, it would focus me right in.
I've got rid of the ADD, but I do find it hard to concentrate sometimes.
We went to Ibiza, and I was on Ritalin, and, for a kid who couldn't concentrate, I read a 200-page book on King Arthur, and my mum just hated it. She said it just wasn't me.
I have trouble with any kind of focus or concentrating, or getting anything done at all, really.
I just try to concentrate on concentrating.
I don't know if I'm attention deficit, but I certainly am easily distracted by other things.
I had tried to get focused on other things. But I always ended up back in the same place, and it wasn't making me happy. I needed to get the focus back.
That's the problem with ADHD: I have no focus; I get bored.
I find it so easy to get distracted - I try not to do more than one thing at any one time.
I kinda have the opposite of ADD. I have a hyper-focused disorder, where if there's a given task in front of me I really concentrate on that.
